Hi All,
I wonder if 'cd' in Cygwin is supposed to follow windows shortcuts.
According to this message:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-08/msg00546.html
I'd assume it is. However, I'm seeing the following in my system;
In my $HOME dir (Cygwin) I have a Cygwin-symbolic link to my "Desktop"
(windows folder), and it works just fine:
11:09:56 [~]$ ls
Desktop@ My Documents@ local/ temp/ work@
11:09:56 [~]$ cd Desktop
11:10:34 [Desktop]$
So far, so good. Now, in the desktop, I have a windows shortcut to a
personal directory:
11:10:34 [Desktop]$ ls
CHM 3400.lnk*
11:10:36 [Desktop]$
The problem is that, if I try to cd into that directory, it doesn't work:
11:13:33 [Desktop]$ cd CHM\ 3400.lnk
bash: cd: CHM 3400.lnk: Not a directory
11:13:36 [Desktop]$
Right, it isn't a directory. But shouldn't Cygwin convert the path and
follow it just the same? Is there something wrong with the behavior
I'm seeing?
Thanks a lot,
Gustavo.
